Job Description

Are you looking for a new challenge in an organisation committed to making a real difference to the residents of Cambridgeshire, and where you will play a vital role in supporting the organisation with its vision to deliver a 'healthy, fair and sustainable Cambridgeshire'. We have a full-time position available for the role of Personal Assistant which forms part of the Council's centralised Executive Support Service where you will work alongside a hub of Executive Assistants and Personal Assistants.

The role is offered on a fixed term basis, or as a secondment to internal Cambridgeshire County Council officers, until 31 March 2027, with the possibility of further extension. The role will support the Service Director: Infrastructure and Project Delivery. The Service Director leads teams responsible for highways maintenance, complex infrastructure projects, asset management design and delivery, and commercial and contract management. These teams handle tasks such as repairing potholes, managing complex highways programmes, providing design services for capital programmes, and ensuring value from supply chain partners.

This role is based in our Headquarters of New Shire Hall, and we offer flexible working options and the ability to work on a hybrid basis. We are very much interested in developing people at all stages in their career and this presents as a fantastic opportunity for an already established administrator with good organisational and technology skills. An understanding of the services delivered at Cambridgeshire County Council, particularly those that would receive this Personal Assistant support, would be advantageous.

The closing date for applications is midnight on Monday 31 August 2026. Interviews will be held in-person at New Shire Hall on 9 September 2026.
